Kyle Tucker's Market Slows; Blue Jays Still Favored Amid High Contract Demands

MLB free agent Kyle Tucker's market is slow despite Blue Jays interest, with sources still favoring Toronto. He seeks a $300M-$400M long-term deal, but a shorter, high-AAV contract is increasingly likely due to market conditions and past injury issues. The Mets remain interested, also considering Cody Bellinger, and would find a shorter deal more appealing. Tucker, turning 29, boasts a 140 OPS+ but has played RF for five seasons. His high price tag has limited suitors, with New York clubs reportedly favoring Bellinger.
